PAPER-HANGING MACHINE.

- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 436,924, datedSeptember 23, 1890.

Application filed March 21, 1890. Serial No. 344,751. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, PETER MCQUENEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at East Akron, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Paper-Hanging Machines;and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, in which- Figure 1 is an isometrical view showing a rollof Wall-paper placed in proper position to be properly pasted. Fig. 2 isa transverse section of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a view showing a portion ofthe Wall-paper roller and a sectional View of the retaining-collar andspring located thereon. Fig. is a view showinglocation of thepaste-scraper and its tension. Fig. 5 is a view of the pasting-machine,showin g wall-paper properly placed in the machine Fig. 6 is anisometrical View showing the machine elevated into operative position onany suitable framework.

The present invention has relation to wallpaper pasters and hangers; andit consists in the different parts and combination of parts hereinafterdescribed, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all of thefigures of the drawings.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents the frame or casing, whichmay be substantially of the form shown in the drawings. To the innerportion of this frame A is securely attached the pastetrough B, saidtrough being located substantially as shown in Fig. 2. The paste-rollerO is journaled to the ends of the frame A, and is so located andadjusted that its bottom or under portion will be located within thepaste-trough B, for the purpose of coming in contact with the pastelocated in the paste-trough B. To the one end of the paste-roller shaft0. is securely attached the cog-wheel b, which is for the purposehereinafter described. The frame A is provided with the arms orextensions 0, which are for the purpose of journaling the wallpaperroller D.

For the purpose of holding a roll of wallpaper in proper position andpreventing said roll from slipping or moving endwise upon the roller D,the retaining-collar d is provided, which collar is held against the endof the wall-paper by means of the spring d. The wallpaper is passed overthe friction-roller E and under the propelling-roller F, thence over thepaste-roller G, from where it extends under the delivery-roller G. Thefrictionroller E is journaled to the extensions (2, and for the purposeof causing said friction-roller E to hug or press against thepropelling-roller F the journals a' of said friction-roller E are placedon the arms a The arms a are provided and are for the purpose of holdingthe journals a. These arms are curved upward at their outer ends for thepurpose of holding the journals a. These arms a are attached to theextensions 6. The propellingroller F is journaled to the ends of theframe A, and one end of its shaft b is provided with the cog-wheel 11which is for the purpose of communicating rotary motion to thepaste-roller O by means of the cog-wheel b. The diameter of thecogwhe'el b is somewhat larger than the diameter of the cog-wheel b,said cog-wheels being so formed for the purpose of causing the peripheryof the pasteroller C to travel faster than the periphery of thepropelling-roller F.

The object and purpose of causing the periphery of the paste roller O totravel or move faster than the periphery of the propelling roller F isto provide a means for distributing and adhering paste to the wallpaperas the wallpaper is unwound from the roller D.

For the purpose of causing the wallpaper to hug the paste-roller C theroller 9 is pro vided, which is located and adjusted so as to press orbear upon the wall-paper directly above the paste roller O. For thepurpose of removing any surplus paste which may accumulate upon thewall-paper as it passes over the paste-roller O the scraper g isprovided, and for the purpose of adj usting said scraper g it isattached at its ends to the ends of the frame A, through the slots 9 bymeans of the set-screws g For the purpose of cutting the wall-paper whenthe desired length has been properly pasted the knife H is provided,which knife is attached to the free ends of the arms h, which arms areattached to the shaft h, said shaft being journaled to the ends of theframe A. The knife H is operated by means of the handle M, which isrigidly attached to the shaft h. When it is desired to cut thewallpaper, the handle h2 is elevated, thereby elevating the knife H,which acts against the cutter-bar I-I.

For the purpose of removing all surplus paste from the paste-roller Othe scraper I is provided, which is held in the desired position bymeans of the bolts J, the inner ends of which are attached to theextensions J. These extensions J are open at their top or upper ends,for the purpose of receiving and holding the heads J which heads are forthe purpose of holding the scraper I at the desired point of adjustmentby means of the thumbscrews K and the springs K. When it is desired tochange the adjustment of the scraper I, the thumb-screws K are turnedupon the threaded portions of the bolts J.

When it is desired to attach or paste paper to the ceiling of a room,the paper is brought up over the roller H and the brush H as illustratedin Fig. 2. The brush H is pivotally attached to the shaft L by means ofthe arms L. To one end of the shaft L is securely attached the ratchet Lsaid ratchet being for the purpose of holding the brush at the desiredpoint of elevation by means of the dog L and the springs L said springsL being securely attached to the shaft L. To the inner sides of the armsL are attached the flanges L, which flanges rest upon the springs L".

It will be understood that the brush II should be elevated to such apoint that it will press or bear against the ceiling, thereby pressingthe paper to the ceiling. It will also be understood that thepasting-machine proper is to be elevated, so as to bring the machine inproper position with reference to the ceiling.

When it is desired to attach paper to the walls of a room, the paper isdrawn from the pasting-machine proper by means of any suitable brushhaving a clamping device.

If desired, the periphery of the paste-roller C may be provided with afluted surface, or, if desired, said paste-roller may be covered withfelt, rubber, or other like material.

In Fig. 6 of the drawings I show the device mounted upon a suitableframe-work and in operative position forpapering the ceiling of a room;but I wish it understood that I do not herein claim such frame-Work, assuch is the subject-matter of a separate application filed by me July 5,1890, and numbered in Serial 357,836.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of the frame A,'having located therein thepaste-trough B, the pasteroller 0, journaledto the frame A, thepropelling-roller F, the cog-wheels b and b the friction-roller E, andthe wall-paper roller D, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The combination of the paste-roller G, the propelling-roller F, thefriction-roller E, and the wall-paper roller D, having located thereonthe retaining-collar d and the spring 61, substantially as and for thepurpose specified.

3. The combination of the frame A, having located therein thepaste-trough B, the pastej roller 0, the scraper I, provided with theextensions J, the bolts J, provided with the heads J the thumb-screws K,and the springs K, substantially as and for the purpose speci- 4. Thecombination of theknife H, attached to the arms 71, the shaft h", thehandle 72 and the cutter-bar H, substantially as and for the purposespecified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.

PETER MOQUENEY.
